Although the visualizer is still a bit rough, I've put together an index page where you can now download maps/stats, but also go straight to visualizations of exploration traces for the games I've been mapping (mostly Metroidvanias). The visualizer doesn't show multiple links or complex requirements well yet, and layouts are a challenge. But you can click around and see stuff, and the CSV files have interesting stats now (just submitted a paper for EXAG 2026 talking about metrics for discrete exploration games).

#HotTake on #VideoGames: I agree that we should stop calling #AdventureGames that lean heavily into their ability-gaining elements #Metroidvania games. The name implies similarities to #Metroid and #Castlevania that might not be there, and also that they invented elements which were also in the original #Zelda, #Adventure, and many other 80s adventure games.
Generally speaking, gaining abilities to access new areas is one of those true-to-life elements. It'd be like calling every arcade racing game an "F-Zero clone" or every First Person Shooter a "Doom Clone" when even Wolfenstein was far from the original FPS.

They Always Run (2022) (Action, Metroidvania) (Nintendo Switch) [GAMEPLAY] [EN] [HD]

Posit:
#HollowKnight is not a Soulslike, but it has souls elements: Dropping important currency on death, map areas that cannot be unlocked until later
#Soulsborne are not Metroidvanias, but they have #Metroidvania elements: Frustrating, map areas that cannot be unlocked until later
However, Metroidvania areas usually (but not always) must be unlocked with a new ability, usually some kind of movement kit. While Soulsborne areas are usually unlocked with an item, usually a key or other mcguffin obtained from a boss or elsewhere
-
It's funny. I started playing the MIO: Memories in Orbit demo, and it didn't hit me that this game was a Metroidvania until I unlocked the map. So far this game has been a mood and minimal dialogue reveals an interesting story.
